Random Skin Option

This is an idea which has been discussed with my friends and I periodically wish was available...

Would it be possible to create a random skin option instead choosing a skin during champion select? The random pool would only exist for skins already owned, so somebody wouldn't be able to play Pulsefire Ezreal unless they already own Pulsefire Ezreal. I feel like this idea fits in especially well with mystery gifting - except it's a mystery for what you already own. (My friends and I do a lot of mystery gifting... The surprise is quite fun.)

For example... I love Annie's skins. I currently own Goth, Wonderland, Red Riding and Frostfire. With the implementation of a random skin option I could select "random" instead of any of these skins during champion select. By selecting random, I would not know which of the four skins I own would be played until the loading screen (and it's too late to change!).

I'm not sure whether or not it'd be best to add the default skin or not. Some default skins are awesome - and by being included it'd add to the pool of random available. But some people might prefer to play a skin (any skin) over the default look.

By adding a random option a mini surprise is given before each game. The excitement of seeing which skin will be played could even, potentially, encourage further purchases. (It creates more mystery and thus more excitement!)

So please, would a random skin option in champion select be possible?

I think the coding for this would be a bit difficult, due to everyone having different skins or a different number of such.

meh not really... The coding imo would be pretty simple. You would select a champion.

The program would then run something along the lines of find champion skins which it should already be doing to check to see which ones you own. It seems the ones you own and then randomly selects one.

Im not a coder or anything so maybe thats not how it works but i would assume it works somewhat similar to it having to lookup what skins you own every game. When it does that the game would know what skins to randomly select from...

I don't really agree with this because Me personally I like to know what skin I'm going to have and that might hurt people who don't have skins because they have the option but isn't being allowed to use it.

This hasn't gotten any attention. It should be a simple matter to add this option to the game.
